nicedreams Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I have 4 computers in my house. 2 run windows and 2 run different linux distros. My problem which is very annoying is that I can't login to 2 computers to access files at the same time. The only way to do it is to logoff the entire workstation and then log back in and then I can connect to the next resource. How can I avoid this? Is there a way to tell windows to disconnect from that share so I can connect to another one? Example I type \\192.168.2.5 in RUN and then put in my user/pass and then I can access my shared files. Then I want to access \\192.168.2.20 so I can access files from that machine, but windows says you can't because I'm loged into 192.168.2.5 still. There has to be a way with net use or something to tell windows to disconnect \\192.168.2.5 so I can login to \\192.168.2.20 without loging off of my entire machine to do it. This better not be a way that MS makes you have to be on a domain for multiple resources. I don't want a domain at my house and MS sucks if that is the case and I give another point to linux that lets me access what ever I want and when I want.

accesser Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 To disconnect a person using XP go to computer management (Right click on my computer) Go-to Shared Folders, and then sessions You can disconnect people in here that are connected to you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicedreams Posted October 15, 2005 Author Share Posted October 15, 2005 That is only for people that connect to me and I want to disconnect them. I want to disconnect a share I am using so I can connect to another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
